Just purchased a MBP off ebay...

It's a used MBP 2.33Ghz with matte display, purchased in late January. The previous owner was actually a Windows user who tried to switch but could never get used to the Mac system. So I'm assuming any use in it has been very light.

I'm going to pick it up tomorrow so I was wondering if there was anything I should do to test the machine, to make sure nothing's wrong with it and everything's running at it's full potential. Any ideas?

This will be the first laptop I've ever gotten too, so if there's anything in general I should know about taking care of it and assuring it's longevity, also if there's any essential widgets/shareware/freeware I should look out for, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the help so far. Thought I should mention, I'm not planning to actually fully test the macbook out when I go to pick it up. This is more so for when I get home with it. The most I'll probably do when I pick it up is make sure it powers on (and doing so, look for any glaring dead pixels). Otherwise I have full confidence the seller is legit and fine. It was actually my suggestion that I pick it up rather than have him send it to me when I live only 7 or so miles away.
